I thought some of the student videos were cleverly made, especially the Rich Rod Press Conference. The video may have placed Rich Rod’s vacillating statements deeply out of context, but this technique only made the video that much more humorous. The video seemed to play on the fact that the UM coach’s responses during the press conference were vague and ill supported. This video is a comment on how ill suited Rich Rod is for his job as a football coach, seeing as how our season was a severe disappointment. The parody then involves the two ‘journalists’ questioning Rich Rod on a serious topic (politics), thus illustrating how ridiculous his remarks truly are.
I would say the Rich Rod video was quite successful, and definitely has a chance of going viral. The Cracker video, on the other hand, left me a little confused. It did not seem like any apparent message was being sent to audiences….the video itself seemed more like an inside joke between its creators. There didn’t seem to be any logical reason behind why the girl was cramming crackers in her mouth, and the definitions of ‘cracker’ that showed up in text. The video did not have any persuasive, ethical, logical, or emotional appeals either.
